JoJo Siwa is celebrating the second anniversary of her popping out as homosexual.

On Saturday, Jan. 21, the teenager star mirrored on the milestone in an Instagram publish. In January 2021, the then-17-year-old singer shared a photo of herself carrying a T-shirt that learn, “Finest. Homosexual. Cousin. Ever.” The shirt reveal got here a day after Siwa posted footage of herself lip syncing alongside to Girl Gaga’s LGBTQ anthem “Born This Manner,” fueling hypothesis that she was making an announcement about her personal sexuality. Siwa later confirmed that she is homosexual in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, telling the Tonight Present host that “it was a extremely large threat posting” the shirt photograph.

“But when I misplaced every part that I’ve created due to being myself and due to loving who I need to love I do not need it. That is not what I need if I can not love who I need to love,” Siwa continued.
